NFL Week 3 Picks (with point spreads)

[Auggie]

Just for fun.

Note: Philadelphia opened as a 9 point favorite over K.C. before it was announced Donovan McNabb will likely not start. As of this posting I can't find updated odds, so let's go without.

6. You did so good last week that I should have waited for you to make your picks...

...and then just copied it. :)

[JonLP24]

7. I don't think I will be this week

because I second guessed a few of these picks. Last week I went down the line but this week is a little tougher. I took a chance on Louis and Cleveland and I'm triple and quadrouple guessing that one. Not picking them to win, just the points.

[Auggie]

11. Same here

[JonLP24]

12. What? You don't think I will be so good this week?

:cry:

No kidding. That Detroit pick was the one I second guessed a lot but Washington had 4 drives over 60 yards, they just couldn't punch it in so I expect them to cover.

[Auggie]

13. No. I'm second guessing myself too.

[JonLP24]

14. I know

It was my lame attempt at humor by going on the subject lines of the subthread. I know you were talking about second guessing which is why I elaborated on another pick I was second guessing.

I want to take back my St Louis pick but I will be tough and stick with it.

[JonLP24]

8. Hey I'm a Pats fan this week

because they are playing a NFC team and if Atl loses that can help Arizona in the long run. But you picked Indy. :grr: J/k I can understand. Manning scares the hell out of me, he knows where he is going with the ball usually pre-snap.

[joeybee12]

9. Actually, my real, actual, might win something bet is on Arizona...

...I just figured I'd pick Indy here so I wouldn't jinx myself, but even if there were no money riding on it, nothing makes me happier than to see Peyton lose!

[flvegan]

17. Wait...Tampa over the Giants?

Are you mad?

[joeybee12]

18. No, I am very happy today...

...insane, but happy.

Thanks for playing!

[Forkboy]

21. Nice to be back to .500

I was sucking wind those first two weeks. :)

[Auggie]

22. You kicked ass

Congrats!

[Forkboy]

23. This was a much easier week it seemed.

And I think the final tallies of all of us show that. Nobody sucked outright this week.

And I told you I'd regret that Miami pick. x(

[Auggie]

24. I over-thought it

Picking Cleveland and Carolina were big mistakes

[Forkboy]

25. Cleveland duped me in, too. Don't feel bad.

The 13 points just looked too juicy. :)

[Bill McBlueState]

26. Hey, cool!

I thought I might have done pretty well, but I forgot to check until now. I guess I should go weigh in on Week 4 and see if I can keep this up.
